A warm, comforting breakfast recipe combining rolled oats, sweet apple, and fragrant cinnamon, gently cooked with milk and sweetened with honey for a naturally delicious start to your day.
Ingredients
Scale
Oats and Liquids
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
Fruits and Flavorings
- 1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1-2 tablespoons honey, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Peel, core, and chop the apple into small pieces to ensure it cooks evenly with the oats.
- Combine and Cook: In a medium saucepan, add the rolled oats, milk, and chopped apple. Place over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Add Cinnamon and Honey: Once the oats have absorbed most of the milk and the mixture has thickened, stir in the ground cinnamon and honey until fully incorporated.
- Serve Warm: Remove from heat and let the oatmeal sit for a minute to thicken further. Serve immediately for a cozy and flavorful breakfast.
Notes
- You can substitute the milk with almond, soy, or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey, or use maple syrup as a substitute.
- Add nuts or seeds for extra texture and nutrition.
- For a creamier texture, cook the oats a little longer, stirring frequently.
- Use fresh apples instead of cooked for a crunchier texture, adding them at serving instead of during cooking.
